The rain has stopped, the air is mild, the sky slowly rolls up fine black images : it is more than enough to frame the perfect moment ; to reflect these images, she would cause dark little tides to be born in our hearts. I don't know how to take advantage of the occasion : I walk at random, calm and empty, under this wasted sky.
("Nausea")
More Quotes from Jean-Paul Sartre:
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.Jean-Paul Sartre

No sooner than born, it is already old, it seems as though I have known it for twenty years.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
